The line graph illustrates the changes in the amount of two different types of milk in gallons that a person drinks in the United States between 1970 and 2015.
Overall, it is clear that the volume of whole milk drunk decreased over the 45 year period, while the intake of low-fat milk increased.
Regarding the whole milk consumption, it started at a peak of around 25 gallons, going down consistently by approximately 5 gallons until the year 2000, where the figure stood at 10 gallons. After that, the falling in the numbers slowed, ending up at just above 5 gallons per person at the end.
Turning to low-fat milk, the figure at the start is over 5 gallons, standing at around a 6 gallon mark. It then goes up to 10 gallons in 1980, followed by another significant jump to just under 15 gallons in 1990 and levelled off at that point. At the end, 2015 saw an insignificant reduction from around 14 to about 13 gallons of the dairy product consumed per person.
